An intelligent and emotional film about the aftermath of a suicide attempt. Filmed with stark simplicity and a cast full of sympathetic characters, this is not a stylish satire like I naively expected (I haven't seen enough Czech New Wave I guess) but rather a sharp yet openhearted look at social alienation.

The weakest of Eclipse's Pearls of the Czech New Wave for me. Not a particularly sympathetic style or lead. Still an interesting film.
